Lincoln Park CERT and the Ford Amateur Radio League (FARL) will host an nine-week technician-level amateur radio licensing class, taught by Bill Boyke (N8OZV). The Technician license is the entry level license for amateur radio operators, and you do not need to have a radio to take the class.

This training video covers the basics of fire size up, use of extinguishers and fire safety. Fires are dangerous and can change quickly. As in all CERT operations, the CERT members safety is always the number one priority.

This training helps to prepare you for actions to take should an active attacker be in your vicinity. You must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with the situation and to take action steps that may help save your life.

An “active attacker” is an individual who is engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, active attackers use firearm(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
